2013 Screen Actors Guild Award Nominations

The members of the Screen Actors Guild have submitted their nominations to honor their fellow cohorts and the results were mostly predictable and safe. Leading the pack with four nominations each were, Lincoln and Silver Linings Playbook. Even though the guild does not have a “best picture” category, the “outstanding performance by a cast” can be a good indicator for contenders looking to win Best Picture at the Oscars in February.

There were two major surprises in the film category. The first one being the nod given to Nicole Kidman for her supporting role in the disdained The Paperboy. The other shocker was the lack of love for Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master, which recently picked up several acting nominations from the Critics Choice Awards. The only SAG nomination for The Master was given to Philip Seymour Hoffman. The two surprises may even be linked to one another; with Kidman somehow besting Amy Adams for the nomination in that category.
